Thermal

Leveraging breakthroughs in materials and device design, Novus’ high efficiency thermoelectric systems provide heat to electric conversion or heat-pumping for significant energy savings in small and large scale applications

Clean energy company focused on recovery of “waste cold” in the form of carbon neutral electricity through its solid state “iTEG-HX” thermoelectric generator.

NewCO2Fuels is developing an innovative and breakthrough technology providing a revolutionary, cost-effective solution to two global concerns: CO2 emissions and diminishing liquid fuel reserves. Our product uses a proprietary technology that generates liquid fuels by using CO2 emissions and water as feedstock, and high-temperature heat sources such as excess heat from energy intensive industries and concentrated solar energy.

We are a diverse group of material scientists specializing in both computational and experimental studies. Our research spans nanomaterials, electronic and optoelectronic devices, water desalination, and renewable energy, where our team members have broad expertise and are able to work laterally across these topics. We foster a strong culture of collaboration where a constant feedback loop between theory and experiment facilitates novel discoveries and efficiency/performance breakthroughs. We engage with several government agencies and industrial partners to maximize the impact of our work and harvest the benefits of our discoveries for society. We maintain a strong relationship with our alumni and foster long term relationships between our members as they go on to further pursue academic or industry positions.

SaltX Technology is a Swedish innovation company that has developed and patented a ground breaking technology with which energy can be stored in salt, and subsequently recovered in the form of heat or cold.

Thermal Energy Storage System (TESS) takes electricity from any source, the grid or renewables, and stores is as latent heat in molten silicon at 1414° Celsius.

Brenmiller Energy utilizes an aggregate rock mix (custom to the region) to offer bulk, thermal storage, also offering integrated turbine technology that allows that heat to be converted into electrical energy. This Israel-based firm was founded in 2012 to develop solar thermal generation technology by former Siemens Solar Thermal Energy business unit CEO. A joint Brenmiller Energy-Power Authority of the State of New York project focused on high temperature storage was approved as part of the U.S.-Israeli Binational Industrial Research and Development (BIRD) Energy program.

Steam, gas turbine, & diesel engines powered by pure heat.
